Yes they are Apple Pro Speakers for the iMac but they were made by harmon/karmon they have a connector on them that will only let them be used with a Apple computer either the ilMac G4 or the G4 cube.

I didn’t peek, but I’m sure someone has already said an Apple earbud. Now I’ll go look to see if 87 out of 87 previous comments confirm that.
imajoebob, on October 19th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Okay, I’m wrong. I neglected to notice the plastic ring around the speaker grille. My gut was the hk speakers, but I didn’t think they qualified as a “true” Apple product. Trust your gut.
